This edition includes two separate double-page battle scenes, a striking full-page view of Perryville, Kentucky, engravings of the Confederate raid on Chambersburg, dramatic naval art of the CSS Alabama, and political cartoons that capture the energy of wartime America. This issue is complete in 16 pages. --- ⭐ Highlights & Historical Content 🖼 Full Front Page “The Town of Perryville, Kentucky, Scene of the Recent Battle” “The Pirate ‘Alabama’” — an early depiction of the infamous Confederate commerce raider. ⚔ Major Battle Illustrations This issue contains two double-page battlefield spreads: 1️⃣ Double-Page Centerfold “Rebel Raid into Pennsylvania—Stuart’s Cavalry on Their Way to the Potomac.” A sweeping, dramatic image of J.E.B. Stuart’s famed cavalry riding north in their daring 1862 raid. 2️⃣ Double-Page Battle Scene (spread across two sections) “Battle of Corinth—The Struggle Over Robinett’s Battery.” Stanley’s Division charges up to reinforce the embattled Federal battery—an extremely desirable and visually intense engraving.
